September is here, so it’s time to say our goodbyes to summer and dive into the cozy, sweater-weather season of fall. Hot themed drinks are a big part of the autumn aesthetic, but as the popular pumpkin spice latte takes over, we’re bringing you five local spots you can get other flavors besides the basic go-to.

1. Innova Coffee

Their Maple Bourbon latte is a favorite to try, and if you’re not a coffee person, you can opt for the Caramel Apple Cider with homemade apple cider whipped cream.
